Goaltender Marty Biron has recovered from a nasty three-day bout with the flu, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be in goal Sunday when the Flyers visit the New Jersey Devils. Backup Antero Niittymaki is coming off his best goaltending performance of the season, a 47-save effort against the Washington Capitals on Saturday, and is expected to be in goal when the Flyers try to win their seventh game in eight tries against their division rivals.

Look for Jones to be paired with 18-year-old rookie Luca Sbisa.
